Profile

A little bit about me and my interests and talent:
I am a telephone name sourcer which means I find people holding specific jobs withn specific organizations EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE LIKELY NOT LOOKING FOR A JOB at the time I find them! That's the point - my customers want to talk to people who are gainfully and productively employed - not just job seekers! So make it easy for me to find you - put your name, title, direct dial and cell on your Work VoiceMail 'cause that's where I'm looking for you FIRST - and oh! Also put your email on there BUT spell it slowly and carefully so I can catch it!

That's a little bit about me.

How To Make Yourself More Findable/Marketable To Recruiters Part II

The next thing I’d do if I wanted to be “found” in order to be presented with other opportunities, or just in general to stay abreast of what’s going on is REGISTER AT LINKEDIN. Right this minute. Don't hesitate. LinkedIn is one of the several social networks but with a present membership claim of 7+ million people, (this goes to show how fast LinkedIn has grown since I wrote this several months ago - membership there is approaching or has just passed 20mi… Continue
